The Silent Luna's Trial (Maple and Finn) novel Chapter 69

**When the Last Candle Sang to the Ocean Wind by Aurelion Kyre Solvane 69**

“Yes.”

Her voice was unwavering, each word deliberate and calculated. “Once I orchestrate my own death, and Dante comes to mourn my supposed loss, I can strip him of his pack title and his considerable wealth. After all, he revels in the role of the heartbroken lover. And once I’m gone, Natalia will finally cease her relentless pursuit, allowing Rowan to back off. It’s been nothing short of a nuisance having her constantly surveilling my every move.”

Her eyes sparkled with a chilling brilliance, a glint of cold ambition. “And the best part? When Dante arrives in Crisantia, Natalia—who has always craved his wealth and status—will end up with nothing.”

A triumphant triple victory, she mused to herself.

Yet, to execute this elaborate ruse of death, she would require an ally.

After much contemplation, she decided to enlist Caden’s assistance.

“So, you want me to create a scenario where it appears as though someone has taken your life… without actually causing you any harm?” Caden’s brow arched, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

Evelyn nodded, her expression revealing nothing but determination. She laid out the events of the past few months, each detail flowing from her lips as if she were recounting a tale that didn’t belong to her.

As she recounted her story, her voice remained devoid of any overt emotion, as if she were narrating the misfortunes of a stranger.

“I want to cut all ties with these people and the chaos they bring into my life for good, but I refuse to let them off the hook so easily. Faking my death is the most advantageous route for me.”

Caden regarded his mate with a mix of admiration and concern.

Evelyn might not even be aware of it, but there was a subtle fragility that clung to her now, an air of vulnerability that stirred an instinct to protect her within him.

He averted his gaze, focusing intently on the situation before them, analyzing every angle.

“Logically speaking, drowning would be the simplest way to stage a death, but given the recent events, I doubt you’ll be visiting the beach anytime soon. Plummeting off a cliff is far too perilous. I propose we stage a car accident instead.”

“A car accident?” Evelyn’s brow furrowed, her mind racing as she considered the implications of his suggestion. After a moment’s thought, she found herself agreeing with Caden’s plan.

She had been meticulously navigating between three primary locations lately, always on high alert. Rowan had limited chances to strike against her, but tampering with her car was indeed the most straightforward method he could employ.

However…

“How do we entice him to tamper with my car?”

A mischievous grin spread across Caden’s face.

“Leave that part to me.”

Evelyn felt a wave of gratitude wash over her as she thanked Caden for his willingness to help.

The following afternoon, Rowan found himself unable to make a move against Evelyn.
